Opinion:In the untimely saga of the Labour leadership coup a tangled web of deceit, lies and crocodile tears continues to roll on.

Appearing in his regular slot on Andrew Neil's This Week Thursday MP Alan Johnson denied it was an orchestrated coup but that means he takes people for fools.

There is far too much evidence online pointing toward an organised coup. Of course people who do not use social media or the internet extensively would be left believing a once respected MP; they may have taken his words at face value.

MPs such as Jamie Reed and John Woodcock who have a record of being selectively abusive on Twitter are now playing the "Mr Nice Guy" act on Twitter. There are a couple of "Ms Nice Gals" too.

If you are a Corbyn supporter party member however they may have blocked you on social media. You can still view what they are tweeting on Twitter however by not signing in.

Ringers are in place too.

Posting under the handle of @HessleLabour a tweet Thursday said #cochroachCorbyn. Yes they cannot spell.

The coup that was initially organised September 12 or earlier post the resignation of Ed Miliband was mothballed awaiting its birth.

Angela Eagle was set to announce a leadership challenge but pulled out fearing defeat. It is on hold until Corbyn resigns, drops down dead, which sadly is a possibility the way they are pushing and punishing him, or until they can ensure they have enough non Corbyn supporters signed up to Labour.

172 Labour MPs opted for a vote of no confidence post BRexit when the Tory Party is split and in disarray kindly taking any heat away from David Cameron and his colleagues.

Early this week the mainstream media went to town on Mr Corbyn.

He has been nearly broken more than once this week but resolved to fight on.

News channel viewers were treat to the sight of doe eyed Labour MPs sadly expressing in one way their admiration for Mr Corbyn as they stuck the virtual knife in.

A series of resignations followed by a vote of no confidence in the party leadership by 172 MPs; a vote of no confidence that is not constitutionally binding in the Labour Party.

But the coup was on and democracy and Labour Party rules were not going to stop them.

The mainstream media went to town on Corbyn too, nicely distracting from a huge Tory Party split and a failed Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Cameron may have opted to step down but his legacy will be as the man who led the UK out of the European Union.

Throughout the week the msm have been drip fed facts, fiction and lies from the anti Corbyn gang.

A letter claiming to be signed and supported by various councillors stating no confidence in Corbyn was quickly smashed to bits. Many of the signatories took to Twitter to tell the World they did not sign up.

It was posted on the often vile Labour List. The website may offer to pull the story but the damage is done.

Those involved in the chicken coup are pushing a Saving Labour Website. It is allegedly encouraging moderates to sign up to Labour.

But I wonder who is bankrolling it?

One Mail Online journalist posted a report how he had used that website to join Labour calling Mr Corbyn ghastly along the way.

I also wonder how many new members may be bought and paid for?

Will the party be closely checking new members and in a democratic way?

Jamie Reed opted to claim Corbyn wanted to wreck Labour in a report on a Ukip supporting website.

People will make up their own minds who is wrecking the party.

I voted for Andy Burnham in the 2015 leadership race and would have classed myself as fairly moderate but as I now support the democratically elected leader I am labelled hard left and a Trot!

Funny as, 64 year old retired female NHS worker of good Yorkshire working class stock I would have thought I was a core Labour voter; one they would want to keep.

After all I always vote and have always voted Labour. Many of the young people bleating about the BRexit vote did not bother to cast a vote.

The Chilcot report will finally be published next week and the neo liberals in Labour want a return to Blair lightweight right wing policies.

Voting for the National Executive of the Labour party begins soon. Who wins could affect party policies.

Money talks and it also pulls many strings.

Plan B in the coup appears to be Dither.

But in reality they are strategically running their campaign maybe helped along by a possible leadership hopeful former miltary man Dan Jarvis.

It seems to me that they want the status quo maintained.

One that at times scatters a few crumbs toward the needy but never really changes the balance.

Thing is-many people want real change.

It seems to me we have a couple of options:Spilt into two affilated parties one called Momentum Labour and one called Progress Labour with two leaders and work together or field a Corbyn supporting MP NOW in a leadership challenge. The latter will force their hand and end this ridulcous game of cat and rat.
